Putting Lipstick on a PIG: Modeling Pine Island Glacier (PIG) Shear Margin Collapse with Compressive Arch Failure and Observations
… Island Ice Shelf (PIIS), which provides a key buttressing force that slows the flux of ice across the grounding line, has accelerated 800 m/yr (an approximate 20\% increase in speed) between 2015 and 2024, accompanied by a visible increase in damage in the Southern shear margin, indicating a …

Development of a rapid laboratory predictive test method using fluidised bed techniques for the determination of oxidisability of residual CR (III) present in slags
… as an aggregate in road construction and paving, buttressing, and as asource of lime in agriculture. Previous studies have shown that about 0.1-1 % of residual Cr(III) in slags with CaO/Si02 ratios greater than 2 can be slowly converted to a toxic and water-soluble hexavalent species in the …

The Winds of Change: The effects of katabatic winds on fjord circulation, sea-ice export and glacier stability at Sermilik Fjord and Helheim Glacier
… a series of calving events, driven by a lack of buttressing and weakness propagation up the glacier. Although previous research has dismissed katabatic winds as relatively unimportant due to much greater heat influxes associated with barrier winds, direct influences on Helheim Glacier terminus …
